Best group read of the year?

[Judy]

Which was your favourite out of our group reads this year? To refresh your memory about the books we have read, here is our group reads shelf:

My favourite was A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey, which made me fall in love with her writing. I also really liked The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart.

My least favourite was probably The Annam Jewel, though I do always enjoy Patricia Wentworth's writing style.

I never re-read Fer-de-Lance as I never liked it the first time, I didn't like The Circular Staircase either and I struggled (as we all did, I think!) with The Annam Jewel.

Favourites: The Case of the Gilded Fly, The Crime at Black Dudley and Crooked House

I guess The Case of the Gilded Fly and it got me hooked on Crispin.

Ten were re-reads for me (11 if we count Full Dark House), but I didn't always re-read all of them because I'd read them too recently - Circular Staircase, Crooked House, Black Plumes, The Red House, A Man Lay Dead, Hallowe'en Party, Fer-de-Lance, Grey Mask, Trent's Last Case and Crime at Black Dudley,

[Roman Clodia]

I came to the group late (October?) but loved re-reading the Miss Marples At Bertram's Hotel and Nemesis - I'd almost forgotten just how good Christie is!

For me it’s between Death at the President's Lodging and The Case of the Gilded Fly—both rereads for me, both favorite authors.

Good to see Edmund Crispin was so popular :) I think we need to read another next year. Holy Disorders is the second in the series...

9 were rereads for me and I didn't reread most of them (though I did reread Death at the President's Lodging and The Case of the Gilded Fly - both favorite authors of mine too Abigail!). Maybe my favorite was A Shilling for Candles. Of the new-to-me books, I think that this month's book, The Crime at the Noah's Ark, was the best.

One reason I didn't reread many of the group reads was that I was rereading the Miss Marple books - I really enjoyed reading them in the order we did.

Great taste, Leslie! {smirk}
